A man drowned in Butte Creek on Tuesday evening, marking the second drowning in Marion County in two days.

The Marion County Sheriff's Office said a man was swimming in Scotts Mills Park, a popular swimming hole along Butte Creek, when he began struggling against the current and drowned. Authorities were called at 5:45 p.m., and first responders performed CPR but were unable to resuscitate the man.

The Sheriff's Office wants to remind the public to know their swimming skills, always swim with a buddy and to have a flotation device on you or near you at all times.
